Right ventricular function in pulmonary hypertension and obesity: a cross-sectional cohort study with survival follow-up
This is the first study to assess RV function with regard to BMI status and survival in PAH. The study underlines the importance of the parameter body weight in the clinical management of PAH patients. It provides important insights in the relations of BMI and CO and documented significant gender differences.
